Buckwheat Hull or Husk? 

Both terms are correct and used exchangeable. Our husk is full size and shape.

Used for thousands of years in the Far East to fill pillows and mattresses. Due to its structure, the buckwheat husk provides a natural airflow between the shells.

Products filled with buckwheat husk are perfect for sleeping. The skin does not sweat excessively as it can breathe freely throughout the night. This natural hypoallergenic material is therefore also a great solution for allergy sufferers. It owes its properties to the presence of tannins, an organic compound that has anti-inflammatory properties. It also blocks the growth of bacteria, mould, fungi and microorganisms such as dust mites.
